    Anyone registered in CT?

    There is diesel specific emissions tests and mine flew right through it. Just make sure your VIN matches the paperwork you get from GL on both the door and the cab (if you go that route).

    Blown fuses and flasher

    I just got around to removing my pintle hook and plug for a trailer. Once I removed the plug there were two leads (male and female) left on the harness. Should I plug these in together? Now that I removed the plug I am blowing light and signal fuses and, i believe, my flasher. Any...

    t400 to t700r4 swap

    I guess it all comes down to personal experience. I have yet to have a 700 fail on me and I'm pretty tough on my trucks with towing, hauling, off-roading and daily driving. Just like the 208 tcase. Lots of guys will warn you against them but they have always put up with my crap and got me...

    t400 to t700r4 swap

    Sorry to Hijack but I can get a complete setup (700r4, tcase, shafts, linkage, brackets, etc) out of an 89 diesel civi blazer. Will this tcase/adapter work in my 1008? i know the rear driveshaft will be short but what else will I need? Thanks for the input. I just want to map out the whole...

    M1008 700R4 swap question

    Did a bit of searching on here but I was wondering, what exactly is needed to do this swap in a 1008? Will a 700 from a 4x4 gas truck bolt in? what about crossmember, linkage, driveshafts? I do not have a donor truck with a diesel but I do have one with a 350 sbc. Thanks Andy

    I hate paperwork!

    Well I called to check the status of my situation and to their credit, they admitted the mistake and will ship one asap and I should see it within 2 weeks. Oh well - such is life. Andy

    I hate paperwork!

    I emailed them and heard nothing for 2 days so I called and the lady was a little annoyed that I would call and email!?!? Well why don't you get back to me then??? So she assured me that she would talk to her manager and get back to me today. guess what? nothing.

    I hate paperwork!

    They sent me the wrong SF-97. They sent me one for a 1028 (GVWR 9k-10k VIN code H). Why do you think I am upset?!

    I hate paperwork!

    Trust me, I won't be buying from them again. I did not do my homework on them and I wasn't prepared for the GL buying experience. My own fault. I, unfortunatly, do not know of any dealers with CUCV's. In the end I guess GL may have saved me a few bucks, (I had to sink a bit into my truck to...

    I hate paperwork!

    This business that GL has going is such a crock. They nickel and dime the hell out of you! Now that I finally got my SF-97 (what's that, about 60 bucks)I thought I was in the clear. Wrong. I went to DMV and got a temp plate and paid my taxes so I could go through emissions so I could get a...

    Adjusting the steering wheel position

    On my 1008 the steering wheel is (and has been since I got it) postioned 90 degrees to the right. The alignment of the front wheels is fine and the truck doesnt drift or pull but since the blinker is deactivated by a cam in the column, it won't stay on during a right turn! Can I adjust this...

    How do the soft tops attach to the bed?

    I have one for sale in the classifieds:wink: But there is a piece of angle iron that is bolted to the bed rails and has quarter-turn fasteners that hold the top on.
